a slightly different painting

This painting is going to ultimately have a bus under the tree. If you look close, you can see where I have penciled in the outline already.




My style with this one is looser than I usually like to work, but I think I enjoy working in this way. Its more traditional to be sure... I have gotten so much into the funk of painting in a multi-layered stencil looking style recently that I haven't really had to actually blend any colors in a while.

I think my next few paintings I will focus more on gesture and less on sharp edges. Yes, that sounds good. :D
